Hi guys,
I'm not on any medication at the moment for my tonic clonic and grand mal seizures.
I'm wanting to speak to my Dr about maybe starting Topomax.
Has anyone been on it? Any side effects? Does it help stop seizures?
Did you take topomax in conjunction with other seizure meds or on it's own?
Thanks heaps.

Does anyone else’s seizures get really bad when their “time of the month” is about to come and is still going on??

Lady’s do you seem to have more episodes/ seizures around your period? My epilepsy only tends to play up the week before and the week after my period!? Does anyone else have similar symptoms?

I have found lately that after a seizure I am so much more sensitive to criticism and to well basically anything emotionally draining.
Am I the only one?
I'm hoping this is normal!

How does anyone who is a full time parent get by with epilepsy and the fear of having one by yourself with just your child. I have grand mal and partial seizures. I'm to scared to have another child because I'm scared I shouldn't be a mother because of my epilepsy. I've recently also had brain surgery. So I have had a lot of help since my son was born. It's hard to feel like a mother
Is anyone else in this position or know how it feels? My parents help us but they are now in their 70's. They… read more
